@Dianko : The PS3 didn't lose Japan at all, it sold 3 million there vs only 1 million Xbox 360, and it even outsold the Wii multiple weeks this year. Last time I checked the Wii seemed to loose steam in worldwide weekly sales, while still being easily on top.
The casual gamer crowd is on Wii though, and they're more numerous than core gamers. Warning ! I don't say at all that Wii has no core game / core gamer, games like Mario Galaxy or Zelda or Madworld are those games. But I say Wii has the casual gamers too, which puts it obviously on the top of the sales.
I don't understand what you say about the PS3 price cut. You say it would increase sales by 200 % (which I think is possible) then you say it wouldn't have effect in the long run. This second part doesn't make much sense for me.
For example, when MS cut the 360 price last september, it increased sales hugely and put the 360 in front of the PS3 in weekly sales, where it was constantly outsold.
To this day (on the long run), it hasn't changed back. I mean I think price cuts have permanent effects... If you think PS3 sales will increase by 200%, there's no reason to think on the long run it won't change anything on sales. It did for the 360.
